Acrobat / Reader -- Enlarge Comment Lines

Recently, the lines in the comments in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe (Acrobat) Reader became minuscule, making it very difficult to spot them on the page. With this tool you can make them all big again, with a single click.
The tool can be used in both applications and will edit the lines of the comment types:

Strikeout

Replace Text

Underline

Squiggly

It can be run on all the comments in the entire file, or on just the selected comments (it will ignore comments from other types), or on all the comments in the current page.

For example, let's say we have these 4 comments on the page. Their default appearance is quite small, as can be seen, so we click the script's button to enlarge them (can be seen under the Tools panel on the right):

And the results are much more visible:

If you have any questions regarding this tool, you can contact me directly.

Unless otherwise mentioned, all tools are compatible with the current version of the application for which they were created, including at least 3 prior versions, and will run on both Windows and Mac computers!
